I am sure this has crossed everyones mind is Luke Burt is just to small to compete with the Manu Vatuvei's and Tony Williams and Lote Tuquri's of the Nrl look dont get me wrong i would be upset if Burt were to be dropped but think about Loko on the wing WOW that would be something i know alot beleive that Loko is a center but how about we let him develop into a great center while starting his carrer on the wing like Israel Folau here is some arguements to press my case.
- Good under the high ball
- Fast runner
- Strong
- Good Fend ( what i like to call the Inglis fend )
Alot of people have said there are question marks over his defence and that could be sorted on the wing he is kinder protected on the wing and with time he would develop into center. Now Burt has something that Loko doesnt have and thats class and a kicking game but then we would be short on a goalkicker but correct me if i am wrong Morts was a goalkicker when he was in the toyota cup.
Just a possiblity for SK. imagine this 1,2,3,4,5 combo this is power. Loko could turn into a Vatuvei.

The benefit of this is given he's still learning to carry the ball in one arm, this wouldn't hurt his game at NRL level. Less strenuous defensively and it would be the perfect way for him to get an NRL education - hence why I cringed everytime we bought a new winger.
Guess that's an area of concern for the season if things don't go smoothly in that position.
1) There is zero doubt that our recruitment was diabolical
2) Everyone who was part of the recruiting process, which includes coach, CEO through to the board which signed off the recruitment plan, shares the responsibility
